How will your kids make history today?

If history teaches us anything it's that the difference between living an ordinary life and an extraordinary one is a matter of choice.  When 13-year-old Joan of Arc received visions of angels in her garden, she could have ignored them and heeded more grounded voices that told her to mind her station; or, she could dedicate her short life to liberating her homeland and turning the tide of the 100 Years War.  Bicycle mechanics Orville and Wilbur Wright could have steered clear of flights of fancy by focusing all their energies on their repair shop; or, they could dare to dream that the mechanical lessons learned from stabilizing a bicycle on the ground was precisely the insight necessary to stabilize a motorized craft in the air.

Those examples may sound like the stuff of fiction, but we all know they were the stuff of dreams that their dreamers refused to abandon.  All kids dream big ideas and imagine fanciful futures, but who's to say they can't bring them to pass?  Are your children told examples of people who tried and failed as a way to spare them the pain of failure?  Or, are they shown examples of people who overcame long odds on the road to success to encourage them to be all they can be?

The Lost and Found Journal of Me series guides your kids day-by-day through the remarkable history of our world, showcasing spectacular events and individual achievements that shaped the history of mankind.  Writing and action prompts flow from these examples to stretch their imaginations and develop belief in their unique abilities.  As they record their thoughts and act on lessons from history, they'll soon discover they are not just "keeping a journal", but recording the greatest history ever told... the history of themselves!
